OPAL
Welcome to our OPAL project!
Our OPAL project officially launched On 23rd April 2025 and we are extremely proud to have been awarded the Opal Platinum award in June 2026.
Alongside our playground redevelopment , OPAL provides the children with areas of structured play. These areas have been thoughtfully planned for with our OPAL mentor and currently include chalking, basketball skills, basketball matches, loose parts and climbing zone. OPAL encourages cooperation, social interaction, resilience, coordination, friendship, teamwork, creativity, problem solving, inclusion and imagination.
